Earlier today, a handful of new Deadpool & Wolverine stills were released. We quickly spotted Toad in the background, while Juggernaut - whether Vinnie Jones is wearing the suit remains to be seen - could also be glimpsed behind Logan.
Now, though, we may have identified the mysterious Void Variant wearing a black trenchcoat. While this is by no means confirmed, it seems to be the version of Blade played by Sticky Fingaz (credited as Kirk "Sticky" Jones) in 2006's Blade: The Series.
Picking up after the events of Blade: Trinity, the show only lasted 13 episodes on Spike before being cancelled after a single season. David S. Goyer spearheaded the show and it even featured music from then-future Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi.
Enlisting Sticky Fingaz in place of Wesley Snipes would be the ultimate "f*** you" move from Ryan Reynolds. It's no secret the two didn't get along while shooting Blade: Trinity, a fact Reynolds has acknowledged over the years.
"I never met Wesley, I only met Blade, and he is a method actor. Say what you want about that style of acting, I have the utmost respect for whatever it takes to get through this process," he said. "There's a moment in the movie where I look up at Jessica and I swear to God, I didn't even know the cameras were rolling anymore and I say, 'He hates me, doesn't he?' And she's like, 'Yeah.' I'm just saying this about my relationship as Ryan Reynolds to this guy, and it works."
"I don't know if I ever got him to laugh. The guy's Blade," Reynolds added. "Hopefully on the inside, he's laughing kind of on the inside, I don't know? It was a challenging process. I've never experienced anything like that."
As you'll see below, many fans are convinced this small screen Blade will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine. We can believe it, though how the movie addresses this cameo promises to be very interesting indeed...
